Using ACDB report with wildcard

Description

The acdb report command has a -instance [-rec] <instance_path> switch that allows the user to specify the name of the instance to be included in the report. The -rec argument applies the command to all subregions of the region specified with the <instance_path> argument. If it is omitted, the command applies only to the specified region.

Solution

The <instance_path> parameter can be specified with a wildcard at the end of the hierarchical path. Note that it cannot be place in the front of the hierarchical path. Note the following example: Allowed: acdb report -db testcover.acdb -cov sbc -html -instance /tb/uut/mode_* -o coverage.html Not Allowed: acdb report -db testcover.acdb -cov sbc -html -instance *mode_* -o coverage.html
